Description:
Median household income for each patient's area of residence is estimated by matching the zip code of the patient recorded at the time of diagnosis against files derived from the 2012 American Community Survey data, spanning years 2008-2012 and adjusted for 2012 inflation. Household income is categorized as quartiles based on equally proportioned income ranges among all US zip codes. Due to differences in collection methodology, comparisons with Census 2000 income data should be done with caution.
